Running back Ray Rice was released by the Baltimore Ravens and suspended indefinitely by the NFL on Monday, the same day a shocking video surfaced showing the NFL star knocking out his future wife with a punch in February.

Harbaugh said he and Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome called Rice to inform him of the decision. He declined to discuss what Rice said or how he reacted.

Shortlydiscount ray bans after the team announcement, the league said the three time Pro Bowl selection was suspended indefinitely.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who had originally given Rice a two game ban, increased the suspension after viewing the new video for the first time, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said on Twitter.

The new video shows Rice punching Janay Palmer, who was his fiancee at the time, inside an elevator at a hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, seven months ago.

TMZ Sports posted the video Monday showing Rice and Palmer entering an elevator. Inside the elevator, Rice punches Palmer. Palmer lunges after Rice, and then Rice hits her again and she falls to the floor.

Previously, TMZ Sports had released hotel surveillance video of Rice dragging an unconscious Palmer out of the elevator. This is the first time video has been released that shows Rice punching her.

A few months after the incident, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Rice without pay and fined him an additional game check for detrimental to the NFL. no one in the NFL offices, including Goodell, had seen the newly released footage of the incident until Monday, the league told CNN.

requested from law enforcement any and all information about the incident, including the video from inside the elevator, NFL senior vice president of communications Greg Aiello said. video was not made available to us and no one in our office has seen it until today. won be prosecuted

The NFL has previously said that Rice entered a pretrial intervention program in May. Underfake ray bans the program, he won be prosecuted, and the charges will be expunged after one year.

lot of people are mad at the NFL and the Ravens. I mad at the judicial system that failed this woman and society at large, he said. you have clearly an act of violence. Clearly an act of violence. To give him a slap on the wrist, an opportunity to even have this wiped from his record, tells you how powerful money, fame and sports is in society. a press conference in July, Rice said his actions were and that he and his wife were in counseling.

taking the necessary steps to move forward, he said. job is to lead my family. My job is to lead my wife. My job is to lead in whatever I do. And If I not being the example, then my family crumbles. admitted punishment was too lenient

Goodell has already been scrutinized for suspending Rice for just two games, months after the first video aired. Many felt the suspension wasn enough, and in August, the commissioner himself agreed.

In a letter to all NFL team owners, he said the league had fallen short of its goals in its handling of the Rice case: allowed our standards to fall below where they should be and lost an important opportunity to emphasize our strong stance on a critical issue and the effective programs we have in place. didn get it right. Simply put, we have to do better. And we will, he added.

Some NFL fans have questioned why Harbaugh would call Rice heck of a guy after the news broke and why the Ravens would tweet out in May Rice says she deeply regrets the role that she played the night of the incident. have also questioned why Cleveland Browns receiver Josh Gordon would be suspended for a year after testing positive for marijuana when Rice was suspended for just two games.

In his August letter to team owners, Goodell said the league will institute a six game unpaid suspension for personnel who violate the league personal conduct policy when it relates to domestic violence. A second domestic violence incident would be punished by a lifetime ban from the league.Articles Connexes：

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. (AP) Major League Baseball andcheap ray bans its players have banned most home plate collisions but left open an exception if the catcher has the ball and is blocking the runner direct path to home plate.

A new rule, 7.13, was adopted by MLB and the players association on a one year experimental basis, the sides said Monday.

A comment attached to the rule states "the failure by the runner to make an effort to touch the plate, the runner lowering of the shoulder, or the runner pushing through with his hands, elbows or arms, would support a determination that the runner deviated from the pathway in order to initiate contact with the catcher in violation."

A runner who violates the rule shall be declared out even if the catcher drops the ball. If a catcher blocks home plate without possession of the ball, the runner shall be safe. However, a catcher may block the plate to field a throw if the umpire determines the catcher could not have otherwise fielded the ball and that contact with the runner could not have been avoided.

MLB executive vice president Joe Torre, a former catcher, said baseball wants to curb intentional contact.

"If nothing else on that play, we want to eliminate those very vicious hits where you target the catcher as opposed to home plate," the former Yankees manager said.

Tampa Baycheap ray bans Rays manager Joe Maddon said there doesn appear a radical change to existing guidelines, noting catchers still will be able to block the plate if the ball arrives in time.

"The general spirit of it is you don want a collision intentionally initiated by the base runner. That what it sounds like to me," Maddon said.

Home plate collisions also will be subject to review, but they won cost a manager a challenge under the new system.

"It going to cost you a challenge if you challenging safe or out. But if it the collision part of it, if it going to be a violation, then that is going to be looked at the same as the home run (replay). . The only thing different is the (umpires) are not going to leave the field, you going to get everything from New York," Torre said.

Torre is optimistic the new replay system that debuts this season will function as intended, helping umpires get potential game changing calls correct while not disrupting the rhythm of play with lengthyfake ray bans delays.

Torre is headed to Arizona, where he spend two days explaining expanded replay to managers and other staff members of the 15 clubs preparing for the season there.

"For the most part, the reception from all the clubs has been very positive, which makes us happy," Torre said after a three hour meeting with representatives from the Rays, Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles and Pittsburgh Pirates.

"The umpires are all in on this. . They don like to be written about or to look at TV that night and see how they missed a play," Torre added. "They don want that, so they all in on this stuff."

Ball and strikes, force outs at second base the so called "neighborhood play" and situations involving base runners who tag up before advancing are among the plays that managers will not be able to challenge under the new system.

The new rules allow each team to challenge one call a game. If the manager wins the first one, he earn another challenge. The crew chief can request a review after the seventh inning if the manager has used his challenges.

"There have been some questions, there have been some suggestions," from managers in Florida, Torre said, adding that the changes made in the system for this season are a starting point.

"There are going to be calls that are missed. If we concerned ourselves with getting every single play right, the game would never end," Torre said. "We gave it a lot of thought, a lot of conversation and a lot of meetings. We figured this is the best way to start this thing, and we see."

Baseball became the last major professional sport in North America to implement replay late in the 2008 season, however it has been very narrowly used.

Under the new system, umpires will not leave the field during replays, instead communicating by headset with current MLB umpires at the replay center in New York, where challenged calls will be settled.

Torre expects most challenges will be resolved within 60 to 90 seconds.

"Hopefully, we not going to disrupt the game," Torre said. "We going to remind everybody that pace of game is very important."

"Players can concern themselves with replay. They got to play the game the way they normally play it," Torre said. "Replay is a strategy for the manager, and just let it be that. It tough enough to play the game without trying to factor that part in."Articles Connexes：

To say Virat Kohli is one of the best one day batsmen today is an understatement; he may well be the best. The player whom Ray Jennings, coach of Royal Challengers Bangalore, once termed "a veryfake ray bans talented kid [who] sometimes thinks he is better than the game," is very much at ease with himself after a stellar last two seasons in ODI cricket. From marking his World Cup debut with a century to reeling off 596 runs in his last five innings, Kohli is a transformed player.

Kohli’s ODI graph has headed only one way since he made his debut against Sri Lanka in the summer of 2008 upwards. He was given all five matches in August of that year and scored 159 runs at 31.80, with one half century. His next call up came in September 2009, and Kohli made 325 runs from ten matches at 54.16, including a maiden century and two fifties. In 2010 he featured regularly for India in ODIs, playing 25 matches from January to December and returning 995 runs at 47.48, with three centuries and seven half centuries.

This run of form booked Kohli a place in the 2011 World Cup, and by marking his tournament debut he refused to look back. He was 2011′s highest run scorer with 1381 at 47.62 from 34 matches, with four centuries and eight fifties. In fact, he started and ended the year with half centuries.

In 2012, the 23 year old has been phenomenal. In just 12 matches he has amassed 836 runs at 76.00, with four centuries and three half centuries. His last five innings have been 133, 108, 66, 183, 106; against Sri Lanka, he has now scored four 50 plus innings in a row three of which have been centuries. He is the third highest run getter in 2012 behind Sangakkara and Tillakaratne Dilshan, who have both played 25 matches compared to Kohli’s 12. Nobody has more hundreds than Kohli this year either.

Since Kohli made himself a regular in India’s ODI setup in 2010, he has scored 3537 runs at 52.79; no other batsman has scored more runs in the last three years. The next best, Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara, is 181 runs shy of Kohli’s mark. No batsman has scored more centuries in the last three years than Kohli, who has 12 to his name December 2009 when he reached three figures for the first time in one day cricket.

Kohli’s record in the past two years, especially, has been remarkable and his stats reflect that he was worked out the 50 over format perfectly. He is easily the highest run scorer here too, with 2614 runs at 54.45 from 55 matches. In his period, Kohli’s tally of fours (244) is the highest for all ODI batsmen and his strikefake ray bans rate (89.12) is only bettered by Shane Watson (96.75), Hashim Amla (94.19) and Gautamdiscount ray bans Gambhir (89.53) for top order No’s 1 to 3 batsmen with a cut off of at least 35 matches.

In five completed series since the 2011 World Cup, Kohli has been astonishingly consistent: he has averaged 90 or more in two, and more than fifty in two more. In each of these series Kohli achieved adiscount ray bans strike rate of 84 or more. Against England at home his strike rate was 91.52; against West Indies at home it was 95.29; in the CB Series 92.78 over eight matches; and in the Asia Cup 102.

Kohli has made the No. 3 slot his own in the 50 over format (he averages 49.78 batting one drop). In India, he averages 50.48 (five centuries) and away, 43.34 (four centuries). Outside of Asia, his average is 47 with two centuries at Cardiff and Hobart.

What is also impressive about Kohli is the manner in which he scored his runs. He hasn’t been unconventional like Watson, AB de Villiers or Brendon McCullum have; instead, he has stuck to conventional shots, mostly presenting a full face of the bat to the ball. His driving down the ground and through the offside has been pleasing for its authenticity, and Kohli is one of the best pullers in the Indian team today. The shot he has made his own is the whiplash flick through and over midwicket, a shot hit with incredible bat speed but minimal fuss and not packed with power. He has also showed good skill against spin, most always using his feet to come forward and play the ball down the ground.Articles Connexes：

When it comes to one particular subject, I’ll admit I’m a total hypocrite. I’ve done sermons on the subject, but I really have no business preaching on it.

I know, I’m a pastor. I’m supposed to trust God completely. Jesus promised me a"peace that passes understanding" in other words, a peace so outrageous and unreasonable it doesn’t really make sense. And I have experienced thatat times.

Yes, I know all the Bible verses, most by heart. I believe God loves us and wants the best for us. And I haveno doubt He can come through for you in anything you face. It’s just when I need Him to come through for me that I have a problem trusting.

For instance the other Sunday we had FRIEND DAY at church. That’s a day everyone is supposed to invite a friend to come with them, and you have an exciting day with lots of peopleexperiencing your church for the first time. Only problem was, it was coming at the tail end of Spring Break for the public schools. Not only that, but they also had the Monday offdiscount ray bans after Sunday. So as we got to the week before, I realized I already had lots of key families out of town.

As I came to the day before our event, I discovered even more families than I expected would be out. In fact, about 30% of our congregation would be gone. Not the best plan for a high attendance Sunday. In fact, an almost certain disaster.

So I did what any reasonable, Godly pastor would doactually no, I didn’t. I panicked.

We all keep asking God todiscount ray bans take us out of tough situations. That’s natural. Some people have even developed theologies where they claim God will keep them from pain, if they only have enough faith. Sorry, that’s wishful thinking. The hard truth is God is often the very one leading us into those scary, nerve rackingfake ray bans places. Why in the world would a loving God do this?

So that with every rescue He performs, we would finally learn to trust Him and stop worrying.

Jesus talked about this specifically in Matthew 6:28. He pointed out how beautiful the lilies are, and how God takes care of the birds. He asks an obvious question don’t we realize how much more precious to God we are? If He takes care of them, do we really think He has allowed these challenges in our lives in order to destroy us?

So why don’t I get that? Why don’t I trust that God will take care of me? Usually it’s a matter of focus.

When we stare at our problems, the problems look bigger. When we concentrate on God, the problems pale in comparison. Hmmmmaybe that’s why the Psalmist said, "Ohcheap ray ban outlet MAGNIFY the Lord with me". It’s when we focus our attention on God that we see how really big He is, and how small our problems are compared to His infinite resources.

Not only do I not focus on Him, but I ignore His track record in my life. With all the things I’ve been through car accidents, lost jobs, moves, living in dangerous inner city neighborhoods, starting churches He’s hoping at some point I notice one common denominator with all I’ve experienced. That common factor is that not once has my family gone hungry. Not once did He fail to come through on something truly important. And frankly, you’d think that by now I would have noticed that!

It’s probably a good thing I can’t see God when I talk to Him. I wonder how many times, when I’m panicked and frantic, He is actually rolling His eyes? How often must He be thinking, "Not this again! You still don’t trust me? Seriously?"

At the end of that passage, He made me a firm promise. Jesus said that, instead of worrying, I should simply do this: "seek first HIS kingdom"what He wants from mebringing about His will on this earthand then all the things I’m worried about for myself will simply "be added unto me". He says, "Put me first, and I’ll take care of the rest".

So I don’t have to be perfect. Thank God, I don’t have to be smart. I just have to prioritize the things He said are important, and everything will fall into place. Done deal. To a doubter like me, a world class cynic, that sounds too good to be true. But amazingly, it actually is just that true. And from my own experience, I know it is!

Seriously, what’s the worst thing that can happen to us? Death, right? But the whole point of Easter is that He’s even got our "worst case scenario" all wrapped up. The greatest calamity that could possibly befall us has already fallen under His feet.

So when I focus on that, every day no matter how challenging can be covered with a warm blanket of peace. Everything that’s looks like a tragedy in this life is suddenly a triumph in the next. He’s my Father, He loves me, and no matter how hard the storm rages, He is not letting go of my hand. Not a chance.

Oh, by the way, our Friend Day at church? I feel kinda silly, actually. Our attendance didn’t tank, even with so many of our regular families on vacation. In fact, we did quite well

We had our highest attendanceever. Made no sense at all. Totally nuts. People coming from nowhere. Yeah, I feel really stupid. But this kind of stupid’s not such a bad feeling after all.

One day, I’ll face my own worst case scenario. I’m going to die, just like you will. My hope is that by that time, I will have learned the lessons God has taught me about worry. I don’t think I’ll go out grasping for life, struggling to hold onto this world.

I hope I will finally know how to listen to my Father, when He says to me, "Let go. It’s OKI’ve got you!"Articles Connexes：

It’s not often that a serious medical condition sparks a dieting fad, but such is the case with the gluten free craze. Sufferers of Celiac Disease, an autoimmune digestive ailment, must avoid foods containing gluten but somehow, the diet has caught on with non sufferers who think cutting out gluten will help them eat better or lose weight. ItMichael Kors handbags outlet won’t necessarily do either, yet loads of gluten free products marketed to the general population suggest that it can. Even Domino’s Pizza is on the bandwagon with gluten free pizza crust, although the company’s website cautions that it is not recommended for true Celiac suffers!

What is Gluten?Gluten is a protein found in wheat that gives elasticity to dough, helping it to rise and keep its shape. Gluten is a combination of gliadin and glutenin, which is joined with starch in various grains. Gliadin is what enables bread to riseMichael Kors outlet properly while glutenin is the major protein in wheat flour, making up 47% of the total protein content.

What Is Celiac Disease?When people with Celiac Disease eat foods or use products containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging the small intestine. The tiny, fingerlike protrusions lining the small intestine are damaged or destroyed. Called villi, they normally allow nutrients from food to be absorbed intofake Michael Kors the bloodstream. Without healthy villi, a person becomes malnourished, regardless of the quantity or quality of food eaten.

Recognizing Celiac Disease can be difficult because some of its symptoms mirror those of other diseases. In fact, sometimes Celiac Disease is confused with irritable bowel syndrome, iron deficiency anemia caused by menstrual blood loss, Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, intestinal infections, and chronic fatigue syndrome. As a result, Celiac Disease is commonly misdiagnosed. According to National Digestive Diseases Clearinghouse, more than 2 million people in the United States arecheap Michael Kors handbags affected by Celiac disease, or roughly 1 in every 133 people.

Diagnosing The Disease The results of a blood test can help detect Celiac Disease. If a blood test comes back positive for the appropriate antibodies, an upper endoscopy may becheap Michael Kors performed to assess possible damage to the small intestine, more specifically the duodenum. If there is a flattening of the villi, those finger like projections that absorb nutrients, the doctor or a registered dietitian will work with the patient to create a gluten free diet. After a few months, the doctor may order another round of blood tests and an endoscopy to evaluate the body’s response. Genetic testing is also helpful for relatives of those with Celiac Disease, as the disease is hereditary and common among first degree relatives.

The Longterm Damage Of CeliacAccording to the American Celiac Disease Alliance, eating gluten can cause those with Celiac Disease to be malnourished. This is because the body cannot absorb vitamins and minerals from food, and instead excretes them in the stool. This can cause weight loss and vitamin deficiencies, which if severe enough can lead to stunted growth, neurological problems, and low bone density. Calcium and vitamin D are lost in the stool as well, which can lead to rickets in children (a type of kidney stone), as well as osteomalacia (softening of bones), osteopenia, and osteoporosis. Cancer, especially gastrointestinal cancer, has also been reported to occurdiscount Michael Kors in cases of longstanding untreated celiac disease.

Celiac’s Dietary RestrictionsSufferers of Celiac Disease cannot eat foods made with all purpose flour, bleached flour, bran, couscous, wheat bran, or wheat starch, among others. Under new labeling laws, any foods containing wheat must be identified in the ingredients section on the food label. Celiac suffers must also avoid rye and barley, the latter of which is often used as malt flavoring. Oats can be tricky: Pure, uncontaminated oats consumed inwholesale Michael Kors handbags outlet moderation (up to 1/2 cup of dry oats daily) may be tolerated by some, but not all, celiacs. Gluten free alternatives include rice, corn (maize), soy, potato, tapioca, beans, quinoa, and nut flours. The Celiac Disease Foundation is a good resource for information about gluten free foods.

Gluten Intolerance And Gluten SensitivitySome people suffer from gluten intolerance, which is different from Celiac in that it is not an immune mediated response. The symptoms of gluten intolerance appear after eating wheat or other foods containing gluten, which can cause abdominal cramping, bloating, diarrhea, and flatulence. Researchers are still investigating whether gluten intolerance over a long period causes permanent intestinal damage.

More commonplace is gluten sensitivity, which affects approximately 18 million people in the United States and is essentially a less severe form of gluten intolerance. The gastrointestinal symptoms are similar to those that affect individuals with Celiac Disease, but gluten sensitivity does not cause damage to the intestinal lining.

Should You Go Gluten Free?Of course, eating gluten free makes sense for anyone with Celiac Disease or a significant sensitivity to gluten. But for the majority of us who are not bothered by gluten, are there real benefits to the diet overhaul? Not really, although some people report feeling better after reducing their intake of products with gluten. But take note: A food billed as "gluten free" isn’t necessarily healthier. Gluten free products can be high in calories, fat, and carbohydrates, and some people who go gluten free actually gain weight. That said, so long as you continue to eat a balanced diet, cutting gluten probably won’t cause any harm.Articles Connexes：

On Monday morning shortly before noon, Gillian Bennett dragged a foamcheap Michael Kors mattress from her home on Bowen Island to one of her favourite spots on the grass, facing a craggy rock cliff, the place she had chosen to die.

Bennett, who was 85 and in the early stages of dementia, chose to takeMichael Kors handbags her own life with a draught of good whiskey, a dose of Nembutal mixed with water and her husband of 60 years by her side.

"I held her hand," said Jonathan, a retired philosophy professor. His voice is reflective, resonant, measured. "I am becoming a vegetable," she wrote.

"Every day I lose bitscheap michael kors of myself, and it’s obvious that I am heading towards the state that all dementia patients eventually get to: not knowing who I am and requiring full time care."

Bennett wanted to face death as she faced the challenges of her life: with intellectual curiosity, courage and grace.

She did not want to becheap Michael Kors a "carcass," physically alive but "with no one inside."

So she decided to end her life before her mind was totally gone.

"She wouldn’t let me help her, and I didn’t wishcheap Michael Kors outlet to," said Jonathan. "I don’t know where she got the Nembutal or the instructions; she didn’t tell me."

Nor did she let him help her drag the mattress outside, although that final effort was physically difficult for her.

One thing her husband does know for sure: "She was absolutely not frightened. Not even slightly. She was as calm and peaceful as you could imagine."

"She was failing more quickly in the last six months," said her daughter Sara, "and she knew it."

During lucid moments in the last two years, Bennett wrote about her decision. Vegetating for years in a hospital in diapers, incompetent, a financial and physical burden was a prospect she perceived as "ludicrous and wasteful."

"Her position wasn’t just that she didn’t want to be a burden to others," said Jonathan. "She was also considering the kind of life she would have. It would have been hard on the rest of us and not good enough for her."Articles Connexes：

Next week, the justices of the Supreme Court willheararguments for and against marriage equality.

Just about anyone can file this kind of brief, and just about anyone has. There are well established advocacy groups, and there are solo citizens who declare their qualifications asbeing married for 45 years, or being a "commercialcheap Michael Kors handbags outlet property owner and citizen" who is "directly impacted by surrounding neighbors’ actions."

Plenty of anti marriage equality briefs focus on states’ rights to limit marriage and when courts should overrule ballot measures, or the historic scope of the 14th Amendment’s due process and equal protection clauses. But just in case those theories can get five votes, opponents of marriage for same sex couples have helpfully provided the smorgasbord below.

1. Huckabee," but simply advocates for his views teamed up with Paul Cameron, an anti gay researcher who has been repudiated by the major social sciencereplica Michael Kors handbags organizations, to make this argument. They perused newspapers for "homosexual obituaries" to measure whether being partnered at the time of death had any impact on the age a person died. Since they got inconclusive results, they conclude thatfake Michael Kors marriage won make gay people live longer.

2. Combining that with the unrelateddata point that the abortion rate is higher among unmarried women, the "scholars" predict that"under reasonable assumptions," the Supreme Court’s recognition of marriage for same sex couples would lead to "nearly 900,000 more children aborted" in the next 30 years. Marriage equality means that kindergartners will be taught that same sex marriage is a "status to which they should aspire."The Lighted Candle Society, co founded by former Reagan attorney general Edwin Meese,asks,"What will kindergarteners [sic]Michael Kors handbags outlet be taught?" Already, the brief says, "Johnny is being taught that before he marries a girl, he may want to consider marrying another boy. Susie is being taught that before she marries a boy, she may want to marry another girl. The lesson isfake Michael kors handbags outlet that marrying someone of the same gender is a ‘good thing.’" The Supreme Court ruling for the same sex couples, they say, "would enshrine Queer Critical Theory (which says there are no real [gender] differences) intofake Michael Kors the Constitution."

6. The voice of those children is important in this case, don you think?" Other voices of such children have accordingly stepped forward ones whooppose their parents having "full recognition and full status." One is Denise Shick, who says her transgender father physically abused her, but that "perhaps the worst thing he did was to fail to provide a fatherly, male role model, instead living out a ‘female identity’ called ‘Becky’ and dressed as a woman." A separate brief filedbyCalifornia State University professor Robert Oscar Lopez says that his"history of accepting money for sex from male strangers and other high risk, self destructive behavior in public parks, university libraries, and supermarket restrooms was driven by a feeling of incompleteness and an unacknowledged longing for my father, who simply could not be replaced by my mother’s lover."

RELATED:Scott Walker has attended gay wedding reception

7. Marriage equality is like racial segregation. This comes from Lopez brief, co signed by B. N. Klein. "The homes in whichcheap Michael Kors handbags outlet COGs" their shorthand for "children of gays" "live represent segregated living spaces because one sex is explicitly excluded; the two adults define their very identity according to their unwillingness to be intimate or share space with the opposite sex. Living for long stretches of their lives in segregated domestic spaces, COGs experience much of the same loss and alienation that occurred in other settings such as schools, stores, neighborhoods, or churches that were racially segregated."

8. "If the redefinition of marriage further undermines marriage’s vital role in connecting sex, procreation, and childrearing or in linking men to both their children and their children’s mothers, it is reasonable to anticipate that this social change will inflict harm on these groups above all others," they write.

RELATED:Marco Rubio says sexual preference is not a choice

9. The Gallagher briefsays that "the redefinition of marriage will transform marriage society’s core family structure to make men’s involvement ancillary and optional. Therefore, this will likely alienate men from marriage and family life, causing ‘an increase in men who live outside marriage and parenthood altogether.’"

11. Marriage equality is unnecessary because gay people are already so powerful, they don’t need it. The state of Ohio, a party to this case, has actually made this argument, ashasthe Concerned Women for America. "Homosexuals are not politically powerless," CWA writes, and thus do not require protection. They concede that "presently, homosexuals certainly lack absolute numbers for political power ‘when viewed in the abstract.’" But the group points out that Obama is pro gay rights and in 2012, Wisconsin’s Tammy Baldwin was elected the first openly gayCheap Michael Kors handbags senator.

12. Marriage equality shouldn’t happen, because sexuality can be fluid. Several briefs argue that because sexuality may not be an "immutable characteristic" like race, it doesn’t deserve legal protection. "There is some malleability in sexual orientation, especially among women," argues the group Texas Values. Too bad for the children who yet have to embrace a sexuality."

13. Marriage equality should be avoided because Alfred Kinsey’s work was problematic. The brief from Dr. Judith Reisman takes issue with some courts citing Kinsey’s research on sexuality or anyone who built on his work, which she argues was guided by "an ideology built upon the sexual abuse of infants and children, and the libeling of the ‘Greatest Generation.’" As such, "this Court should not permit the institution of marriage to become the latest victim of the Kinseyan model of American society."14. Marriage equality would "perhaps even" be hate speech against the Bible. The Texas Eagle Forum notes that "the Bible is perhaps the most unifying force of our Nation," because among Americans, "79% consider the Bible to be sacred or holy, and 50% feel the Bible contains everything they need to know to live a meaningful life." Compare that to how many people voted in the last election, they point out. As such, a ruling for marriage equality would be divisive, and "in essence, the Court would be rejecting the Bible as false, and by implication perhaps even disparaging the Bible as hate speech."Articles Connexes：
